The "Sweetly Broken" Journey: For Comments:

(This is an experiment, not sure if I will keep it or not)

About Me:

I am just a woman who loves the Lord - a licensed counselor (who chose to stay home instead and raise my children), a loving wife, and a blessed, tired, stretched-thin, homeschooling mother. (But I wouldn't trade it for anything.) I am passionate about gardening, healthy eating and healthy living, and doing the best I can to glorify God and help others find His truth, healing, and love.

I have been a Christian for almost 3 decades now, and I have a lot of head knowledge about God and the Bible. But it wasn't until I went through a long time of testing - the refining "furnace of trials" - that I was able to let His love deep into the broken parts of my heart to heal them fully. It was this process that taught me what it means to be a "sweetly broken" child of God. I wrote all about that journey in Child of Mine and Through the Refining Fire, which are in the October posts.

The November posts contain some of the things that I learned as a result of my journey, particularly about God's Will. I did not know this stuff as I was writing my life story, so it's a little backwards to put it first. But I know that not everyone will want to read about my life, so I put the lessons that I learned up front. There is also a Bible Study that I wrote for mature Christians, in the hopes that it helps you sharpen each other as believers and deepen your friendships.

And the September posts are just for fun. There are posts on questions to ask God, questions to ask each other, and why we eat what we do, things that I learned about eating healthy.

It is my hope that God can use my journey to help others on theirs. Take care and God bless!
